Evanston Environmental Association Donates $43,000 for Evanston Ecology Center Renovation

EVANSTON, ILLINOIS - At the Monday, January 11, 2016, City Council meeting, the Evanston Environmental Association (EEA) presented a check for $43,000 to the City of Evanston. The funds will be used for the classroom extension project at the Evanston Ecology Center, located at 2024 McCormick Blvd. in Evanston.

The expanded classroom will provide additional space for Ecology Center programming, as well as more living space for the Center’s resident animals, affectionately called their "critters." Construction on the addition began in August and is expected to be completed in late February 2016. 

For more information about the project, please call/text 847-448-4311. For convenience, residents may simply dial 3-1-1 in Evanston.
